Today, my kids went back to school.
And, to celebrate, I am stuck at home with a head cold.
It hit me hard yesterday and I’m feeling it pretty good today, too.
My head is stuffy, I’m sneezing…you know the drill.
So, I’m heading to the grocery store to buy a chicken. Because this is the best home remedy there is — homemade chicken noodle soup:
Homemade chicken noodle soup.
I love this recipe. I shared it a few months ago over at Live Creatively Inspired. Then summer came and I forgot all about sharing a “winter” recipe with you here.
Today is the day!
I wish I could tell you that I came up with this recipe myself…that I’m an absolute whiz at creating recipes on my own. Although I can finesse and doctor something up pretty good, coming up with them from nothing only happens once in a blue moon and this one isn’t it!
But, like good friends who pass tried and true recipes back and forth, that’s what I’m doing today — passing along a family favorite that is sure to fix you right up this coming cold and flu season:
“The Lady’s Chicken Noodle Soup.” I swear, you’re going love it!
I follow it pretty close to the original recipe but I do make a few changes. Here’s what I do differently:
I skip the cooking sherry and the parmesan cheese (sometimes I add them and sometimes I don’t — just depends on what I have on hand and if I’m trying to cut fat and calories.)
I also skip the heavy cream. I put in a dash of one percent milk — and by a dash I mean about 1-2 tablespoons. You really could skip this all together as well.
I also use fresh parsley instead of rosemary and I add about 1/2 cup extra noodles because my kids love them (I use the “no yolks” kind…they stay a little more firm in the soup).
It’s a very simple recipe and it is oh-so-delicious! Good comfort food that is a family favorite around here.
I hope you enjoy it and I hope you’re not starting off the school year with a cold.
Have a great day, stay healthy and Bon Appetit!
